This national historic site consists of three facilities: a visitor center and two significant Cold War-era sites; a launch control center; and a missile silo/launch facility, formerly operated by the 66th Strategic Missile Squadron of the 44th Strategic Missile Wing, headquartered at Ellsworth Air Force Base in Box Elder, near Rapid City.

Active for over 60 years, the 28th was a component wing of Strategic Air Command's deterrent force throughout the Cold War.
